The anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater which will
accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion protection, always replace
the anode before it is completely eroded. Never paint or apply a protective
coating on the anode, as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.

Important:
•
Before replacing the anode, remove the spark plug cap to make sure
the engine will not start, then check and replace the anode.
•
If the anode is worn out or no anode is fitted on the outboard motor,
aluminum parts will corrode more rapidly which can cause paint to
peel off and damage the surface.
Propeller Replacement
!
WARNING
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never operate the boat
out of the water with a propeller installed. Before installing or removing a
propeller, place the drive unit in neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch
to prevent the engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
1. Shift outboard to Neutral (N) position.
